I think Hybrid tags are useful

Just tagging them with an electrical hazard sign might lead fireys to assume it is an EV and overlook the fuel hazard

Recommended Home Charging Infrastructure

I'd suggest that you at least have a 15A single phase outlet that is accessible where you will normally park the vehicle.

I wonder if that would be enough to give buyers the confidence to choose electric?

300km trips are rarely done without prior planning.

Maybe, if packs are standardised and swappable, you might be able to buy a car with a 150km range pack and hire long range ones for the odd times that you do road trips
